I think that QUISQUE is Latin for everybody,Who-so-ever. Cada uno o cada cual.
Pero la ortografía española ha cambiado. Se escibe hoy día QUISQUI

Muy bueno el chiste, Sosia

Se dice indistintamente "quisque" o "quisqui" y, como dijo Brute, viene del latín, quisque (cada uno). Siempre se añade "todo" delante (todo quisqui o todo quisque), nunca lo he visto solo. In English: everybody

Anyway, it's not formal Spanish.
